Tyre valves lifespan?


HEADPHONES

Recommended Posts

After 9 years the original metal valves that came with my LMGT4s were starting to corrode and one was leaking.

So 16 months ago I found a tyre place to replace all the valves using the standard rubber ones.

They were great and used their rim friendly megamount smart machine to leave my rims pristine as shown below.

But the new valves are perishing and cracking already!

 

Any recommendations for sourcing valves separately?

I've got 6mm tread on fronts and 4mm on rears so maybe just using their regular ones will last till tyre change. But I only do about 2-3 k miles a year so don't want to have to go through the hassle of changing the valves yet again before new tyres.
